Teachings

My teachings focus on the precise inner and outer alignment of postures, combined with the fluidity of Vinyasa - an integration of the traditions of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and Iyengar Yoga - watered with sense of humor and love. This, along with the study of pranayama, meditation, Indian philosophy and kirtan, the student experiences a holistic practice that provides support in their day-to-day life.

I started to practice Yoga in 1995 and have been teaching for over a decade. Throughout my years of studying, I came to realize the interdependence of different, yet complementary, schools of Yoga. The insight my mother imparted, that is the core of the teachings of yoga - a path of finding balance, union and realization of our essence – is also a message that echoes through the philosophies of other teacher who have been meaningful to me. The blend of different backgrounds followed by an open-minded view, has inspired me to develop a practice of integration.

I am inspired to develop a practice of integration

Thus, my service as a teacher is to offer:

The teachings of Yoga, that includes a practice on and off the mat

Yoga as integration, an intimate experience and source for happiness

The principles and understanding of precise asana alignment, focusing on the inner and outer form, combined with vinyasa

The teachings of pranayama as a way to further open up our dimension of reality, heal and reconnect with all beings

An understanding to the importance of a meditation practice in order to cultivate stability and compassion

A context of Indian philosophies and its application to one’s life

The practice of chanting mantras through the enchanted experience of kirtan

I hope to channel what I have learned and contribute to the community by helping practitioners:

Find more balance in their lives, to quiet the mind and to be more stable

Develop the space for self-reflection and growth, increase awareness and apply mindfulness to the everyday

Apply correct alignment in order to safely progress in their asana practice

Use yoga as a tool for healing and transformation, restructure habits and apply changes

Develop respect and responsibility for one’s community, to live more consciously and in integration with all beings

Connect with their hearts, and to develop compassion and acceptance

Smile and soften

Let’s connect, practice and grow together
